True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much, but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and the doctor's bills were real high.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Because of Katrina, everybody's having a lot of stress, so we thought we have to have it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Because of Katrina, everybody's having a lot of stress, so we thought we have to have it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Democrats are staring down the barrel of a gun. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32420]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Democrats are staring down the barrel of a gun.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65817]]></link><description><![CDATA[For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65817</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lie thou there; for here comes the trout that must be caught with tickling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59743]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lie thou there; for here comes the trout that must be caught with tickling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59743</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944  Gambling challenges the view of life which the Christian Church ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7115]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, Teacher, 1944  Gambling challenges the view of life which the Christian Church exists to uphold and extend. Its glorification of mere chance is a denial of the Divine order of nature. To risk money haphazard is to disregard the insistence of the Church in every age of living faith that possessions are a trust, and that men must account to God for their use. The persistent appeal to covetousness is fundamentally opposed to the unselfishness which was taught by Jesus Christ and by the New Testament as a whole. The attempt (which is inseparable from gambling) to make a profit out of the inevitable loss and possible suffering of others is the antithesis of that love of one's neighbour on which our Lord insisted.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every time you win, it diminishes the fear a little bit.

If we admit that men can do very well without Christ, we accept the Saviour only as a luxury for ourselves. If they can do very well without Christ, then so could we. This is to turn our backs upon the Christ of the gospels and the Christ of Acts and to turn our faces towards law, morality, philosophy, natural religion. We look at the moral teaching of some of the heathen nations and we find it higher than we had expected... Or we look at morality in Christian lands, and we begin to wonder whether our practice is really much higher than theirs, and we say, "They are very well as they are. Leave them alone." When we so speak and think we are treating the question of the salvation of men exactly as we should have treated it had Christ never appeared in the world at all. It is an essentially pre-Christian attitude, and implies that the Son of God has not been delivered for our salvation. It suggests that the one and only way of salvation known to me is to keep the commandments. That was indeed true before the coming of the Son of God, before the Passion, before the Resurrection, before Pentecost; but after Pentecost that is no longer true. After Pentecost, the answer to any man who inquires the way of salvation is no longer "Keep the law," but "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20092]]></link><description><![CDATA[The test of a real comedian is whether you laugh at him before he opens his mouth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20092</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we heard about the hippies, the barely more than boys and girls who decided to try something different... we ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19284]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we heard about the hippies, the barely more than boys and girls who decided to try something different... we laughed at them.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'll have a fling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48623]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'll have a fling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48623</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The good news is we got a taste of playoff intensity for Friday's game. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32862]]></link><description><![CDATA[The good news is we got a taste of playoff intensity for Friday's game.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forbeare not sowing because of birds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49254]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forbeare not sowing because of birds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19220]]></link><description><![CDATA[Worship of a hero is transcendent admiration of a great man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19220</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A boss creates fear, a leader confidence.
